Q: Anthony what are the chances that Delgado wont finish the season in a Mets uniform? I believe he will not. However I dont know who will replace him (please dont say Easley or Anderson) Thanks.

A: Chances he won't finish the season as a Met are zero. The Mets aren't going to release a player who makes $16 mil. It's just not in their blood.
Could they trade for his replacement and bench him? I guess, but how would that work exactly? As big a problem as Delgado may be, the Mets have to keep their chips -- if they have any -- for pitching.
They really don't have any good options to replace him...unlike the Yankees, who have plenty of good options to replace Giambi. But you didn't ask about that.
Thanks to everyone for sending in the questions. There were a lot of good ones, but I chose the top 11 because...well, i just got tired after 11. See you next time.
